Being a part of the team charged with the restoration of the Vimy Monument and surrounding grounds was the ultimate honour for a Canadian design firm. The importance of this sacred site as a part of the Canadian psyche can not be overstated.
Walter Allward’s monument needs few words to describe it, as its iconic qualities as sculpture, as memorial, and as giver of meaning is seared into the consciousness of generations of Canadians. The first phase of this work was completed in April of 2007. It is the firm’s hope that renewed and mounting interest and respect for this site and what it stands for will ensure a longer term commitment to the surrounding 200 hectares of the Vimy Memorial Park and its uniquely conserved WWI battlefield terrain.
